These hot sausage New Orleans style sandwiches are called Po-Boys here in Louisiana. According to Wikipedia, a po boy, or po’boy, poboy, po-boy, or poor boy, is a traditional submarine sandwich from Louisiana.

Anyway you say it or spell it, Po-Boys are a tasty treat and not a week goes by that a Louisiana Cajun doesn’t have some sort of Po-Boy. Our favorites are Fried Shrimp, Fried Catfish, Fried Oysters and Hot Andouille Sausage Po-Boys. What we’re making today we just call a hot sausage po boy.

Note: If you do not have Andouille sausage available in your area, try grilling any quality sausage available in your area. You can cook your sausage on your grill, or inside in your oven or however you like.

you are missing one the mian incredient that truly makes a “Po’Boy” a Po’Boy. You have to put it all on “French” Bread,which true french bread is really hard to find anywhere other than in Louisiana.I was born and raised in N.O.,and travel all over U.S. now for work, and it really tears me up when I see a sign for Po’Boys and it turns out that it is just another bad imitation.

Ya you right, Gerard. It’s gotta be the right bread. You won’t find it in a store, that’s for sure. You can find some good French bread in an independent bakery if you look hard, and that will do as well as you can. You want the bread that flies all over when you bite into it. Have to use it that day of course. And be sure to ask if your guest wants it dressed. Put a little Crystal hot sauce on it too. No relish. Mmmmmm!
